Whether you like Sen. Mike Lee or not you should consider the following. The
delegates almost eliminated him at convention.

re: Sen. Bennett in
2010. He was not in the top 2 coming out of convention. In fact the more
moderate of the two, Tim Bridgewater was selected by 57% of the delegates in
the last round of voting by the delegates. If he had received 60% Tim
Bridgewater would have been the party nominee and Mike Lee would have been
eliminated.

Sen. Bennett endorsed Tim Bridgewater during the primary,
but with voters ticked at TARP and ObamaCare, they went with Mike Lee.

Sen. Mike Lee was the party nominee after the primary

The
Neighborhood Election and Convention system in Utah is the best way to make sure
a grassroots process can win over large amounts of money. It is the only way
someone with $100,000 can go against someone with $2 million in election
funds.

We have a system that that does NOT favor the incumbent, the
wealthy or the famous. This is a good thing, and should be preserved.

So when the US House recently passed a compromise, backed also by Rep. Matheson
as well as Sen. Lee, that wouldn’t have defunded ObamaCare, but delayed
implementing part of it, and Sen. Harry Reid refused to even let it be heard,
that was the GOP’s fault?

When the House passed a bill to keep
the parks open, and Sen. Reid wouldn’t let it be heard, that was the
Republican’s fault?

Who hasn’t had even one budget passed
during his entire time as US President, when even his own party wouldn’t
buy in to his proposed budgets?

OK, there are people on both sides
that aren’t being smart, but the majority of the problem has been with the
US Senate Democratic Majority Leader and our current US President.

Our US President isn't implementing all of ObamaCare. He thinks not
enforcing the law because it or the Country isn't ready for it is fine, but
if Congress delays implementing part of it because we don't have the money,
that is not OK?
